The term “complexity” is not applicable to this discussion. Even if there were a priori knowledge that the encapsulated packet is an IPvX packet, the first nibble should be checked to confirm that it actually encodes the value 6/4 for sanity checking purposes. Complexity would be if there were hundreds of lines of extra code – this is a single instruction that should be used by any approach and not just GUE.

In GUE variant 1, the tunnel decapsulation device needs to read the UDP destination port to determine that the UDP payload is a GUE and then to read the first two nibble of the GUE payload to determine whether the UDP payload is actually an IP payload. It introduces an absolutely unnecessary complexity in the procedure, especially for chips.

Again, see GUE variant 1. Correct. There is no reason to progress another draft that does the same thing as GUE variant 1.

IMHO, given the popularity of different overlay technologies such as VXLAN and MPLS-in-UDP in practice, GUE initially and mainly targeted as a DC overlay approach has little change to be widely deployed within data centers. As such, if the only possible applicability of GUE is for directly carrying IP over UDP, I don't understand why we need such a overhead associated with the variation of GUE. In another word, why not directly assign a port to indicate IP-in-UDP, instead of using the GUE protocol variant number to indicate. By the way, this the GUE protocol variant number usage reminds me of the notorious misuse of the first nibble of the MPLS payload to indicate the type of the MPLS payload:) I agree and support the adoption. I supported GUE in the past.. Why not have another way of UDP encapsulation with the possibility of a different area of applicability?
